My younger brother and my self just returned from an excellent Safari with Tholo. I cannot say enough good things about this outfitter. The travel was a little rough, other than that everything went great. I could not ask for a better first experience in africa. The target was plains game. Animals harvested were Kudu, eland, oryx, blue wildebeest, impalla, zebra, warthog, and a few others. Now just to see the price on getting everything back.

Hunted there with my wife 3 years ago. Had a great hunt. The trophy shipment will likely cost more than the hunt......

That’s what I’m afraid of when I get the cost of the shipment back. I will try to post pics soon.

We used the guns at camp both Blaser R8’s is 375 H&H and 300 Win Mag. 300 gr and 180 gr bullets. The use of camp rifles was free and just pay for ammo used. All were with leupold glass.

Great trophies sir, congrats.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Some fine looking trophies. That Eland is a little unusual- fine horns but a body the size of a Gemsbok. Maybe it’s the camera angle or it’s a dwarf Eland

He’s working dates for 2023, I’m saving up for New Zealand. But I would not hesitate to go back in the future. I would do Botswana again. Then go after the Cape buffalo.
